What regional foods are there in your area?

[PineappleSeahorse]

Sweet or savoury. I'm fascinated by the different foods that are available in the U.K and Ireland(or elsewhere) and being a greedy guts I'm keen to sample them.

What delights are specific to your area?

Laverbread
Cockles
Faggots
Welsh cakes
Bara brith

Singing hinnies! And a load of others already mentioned.

Cider

Oatcakes not the biscuit type

Butter pie! I've not had one for years and remembered their amazingness last weekend when I went over to a friends and he'd baked one. It was gorgeous! I must get the recipe as it was the best I've ever eaten

Yup bakeries Teesside / Redcar and Cleveland way or whatever the heck it's known as now definitely stock peach melbas like that

Redcar pronounced Redca right?

Hendersons and many many ales!

Bakestones
Wimberry tart

Square sausage and Curries Red Kola

Well there used to be a seafood speciality but that got shut down as apparently it was a front for their drug dealing activities on the side.

Not sure there's anything else actually. Shame, miss their seafood concoctions.

From Ireland originally so soda bread, potato cakes, bacon and cabbage (a bit old people but really really good), fig rolls, red lemonade and Guinness. The butcher in my home town makes the best sausages on the planet too gavel

Where I am now it's scouse, which is basically beef and potato stew served with pickled beetroot and pickled red cabbage and a good bowl of it is probably one of the heartiest and healthiest meals there is.

Yup that's the one!

Protestant traybakes

I absolutely loved the protestant traybake thread, it was hilarious and make me want to try them all, and I don't generally like sweet food.

Gypsy Tart (not envy)
Ashmore Cheese
Spitfire Ale
Huffkins
Cobnuts
Canterbury Tart
Whitstable Oysters
Bishops Finger Beer (or Nun’s Delight as it was known in the less pc past)

I’m in Essex and I know of none
Just off the top of my head, you’ve got two really famous ones....
Wilkin and Sons (Tiptree) Preserves
Maldon Sea Salt

Derbyshire oatcakes - loads better than the Staffordshire ones 😂
Bakewell pudding
Hartington Stilton

Oh, I've thought of another.
Where I live, every child (my generation, my dcs' generation and all in between) grew up being served chocolate concrete as their favourite school dinner pudding.
It was only when dc1 was at University, I discovered that this isn't a National thing, but a regional thing
You poor, deprived, rest of the country people

@Chancewouldbeafinethlng
